Canine Speech Adapter
Utility
It allows dogs to speak any language. Most devices are configured to automatically determine the preferred language of the listener. It should be noted that this does not inherently make a dog any smarter, it simply allows it to communicate in a way humans find much easier to understand.
Social Impact
This technology paved the way for legally recognizing personhood in non-human animals.
Access & Availability
All dogs are entitled to such a device if they want one.
Complexity
While moderately complex in the grand scheme of things, this technology came about naturally pre-liberation as consumer-focused trickle-down tech from the technology used to help vocally disabled humans.
Discovery
Evidence of the ability of domestic dogs to comprehend and use human language dates back decades before the liberation, with the advent of Dog Speech Buttons. Advances in Brainwave-to-speech technology combined with this previously unknown capacity of dogs has enabled a range of devices that allow dogs to vocalize their thoughts via speakers.
